Hi all -Just back from a weekend in the Italian West Alps.
We are the first F150 Raptors that made it up to the Glacier Lake at "Colle del Sommelier" at 9000 Feet Alt.
Amazing Trail !
SUCCESS !! It works ! 2018 Raptor
Using the CANM8 Contactless CAN Reader - the 2 wires going to the OBD terminal - remove the OBD Terminal for easy mounting of the reader 2x M10
Grey / Orange wire = CAN HI
Purple / Orange wire =CAN LOW
Pass these through the according slot of the...

Fingers crossed
Hey all, definitely will keep you updated an will document the install.
The cool thing is, that they will make it work either way with their remote
RUI kit - pretty cool - once we have the codes - easy peasy

Ok guys, after chatting with them, I ordered one CAN Highbeam relay and the contactless CAN reader.
If it won't work with my 2018 they will help me to get the right code with their - RUI (Research & Update Interface) support system for our CANNECT...
Yeah ... sorry but if one uses the contact less CAN reader it says:
The Contact-less Reader option allows the CAN Bus interface to read vehicle CAN Bus data without any actual metal to metal connection between the interface and the vehicle CAN Bus. The reader is secured around a section of...
Absolutely agree and fully underline that. Thank you for the warning.
- however if the Can bus is read by a inductive sensor (like they have) on the CAN wire - so there is no physical connection -
i assume the possible risk should be almost not existent ?
Many thanks for your valued opinion.
Not sure if this could work also: but this is also a new Solid State Relay with multiple 35 A outputs :

If this would work with the F150 Raptor - this would be it. Unfortunatly F150 is not listed .. Was wondering if any of the Listed compatible Ford models would use the same CAN Data structure?
https://www.canm8.com/can-bus-interfaces/lighting-control-interfaces.html
Was wondering if anyone tried to use these CAN Interfaces from CAnM8 ?
The F150 Raptor is not listed - only newer Ranger Models
The CANM8 Highbeam reads the CAN data and is an actual Relay (switching depending on the CAN Hig Beam Data) to power one or more Lights. Even a Inductive reader to...
Thanks for all the great reactions! indeed is/was great fun. Most important - no issues whatsoever - no frozen doors - no steering or shifting from any mode issues.
The handling is quite awesome we had around 30 PSI in the tires. Also fun to know: one is the king of the road when all highway...
Deep Snow - Winter Wonderland - what could be better ?
2 Raptors on the Loose !

Hi all, had exactly the same issue -- also Twice -- under recall. These bolts are special "stretch bolts" and can not be used twice or be replaced by "ordinary bolts. Had no issue anymore when they ordered the bolts and pump from Ford. These Bolts have some sort of "elasticity" Possibly the...
Hi Karlo
to bad to hear that about Ford / Here in Switzerland i got top notch support. Also Warranty recall work on my direct US import was done flawlessly.
Hope you find a good Ford rep !
All the best
@TrewRaptor Did not see any Nose drop or changed suspension behaviour -
I also fully agree with Yukon Joe - its worth every cent. And indeed the Swarfworks mount has the provision for a Baja Rocklight - Proof of very solid thoughts that went into the design. - very cool stuff.
HI - did just that - Swarfworks - Addictive DD - and WARN ZEON Platinum with Factor 55- BD Lights- LOVE it!
Self installed. IF you have specific questions - let me know.

Goede Avond Steff700
Goede keuze ! veel plezier :)
Greetings from Switzerland - indeed great that the Raptors are spreading Globaly
On mine those lights can be switched on and off with a "hidden" Switch - you might want to check there - also the European Adaptation for the GPS maps etc
on...
Personally i use the "Bad Elf" external GPS unit with also recording capability. It can be paired via Bluetooth to the iPad or in my case a Microsoft Surface GO - works great - also to record tracks etc.

Finally had some time to prep a very short video, took the dashcam video and put the thermal video next to it as comparison. The brighter white = warmer can see that good in the parking garage you can see which cars just parked due to hot engine area.
Hi all, sorry for late reply .. Pics will follow shortly with live footage video from the Nightvision Camera.
Until i got the Hudway Drive HUD (now promised for delivery in September) - i use this workaround:
Using my MS Surface Tablet for Navigation and GPX tracking etc. But i got a 10$...
It is 8" x 3" in Size so i hope to be able to place it somewhere like on this Photoshop pic
